Heyyyy man, where is notion, that this great song "I Will Survive" sang Aretha Franklin too???? I think just her version is better known worldwide, isn't it?

Added: And who said this Aretha Franklin "I will survive" is something like gay anthem? What?? Do you know how many non-gay people appreciated this song. I am sick of you. Please take my note honestly and earnestly and remake this article. Thank from Central Europe, Czech republic..Pavel

So what? A lot of straight people like "YMCA" too. MisterBadIdea 23:37, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Also, Aretha Franklin never sang this song. MisterBadIdea 08:48, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

You don't even have a single citation to prove either song is gay, until it can be proven leave your gay theories out of this article.72.152.135.75 (talk) 19:36, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

I was told that Donna Summers sung this song, but I don't believe that is correct. Can anybody verify this? PeteShanosky 23:21, 31 May 2006 (UTC)nor!

It was Gloria Gaynor! ;) Speechless28 {–www.blackplanet.com}

[edit] I will Survive

Try Limewire to see who all sang this song: Yes Aretha & Donna DID-- as did Tina & Patti. then there were complete remakes like Cake. My question is this: I hear a piece of the Rocky Soundtrack in the background and bridge of the song. Specifically, from The Final Bell. Does anyone else here this and does anyone know if it is purposeful or just a close sound? (hawk4551)

Check Limewire? You gotta be kidding. Limewire has a billion morons who don't know anything about anything labelling their songs; hardly a reputable source.

Limewire as a source-- You may be right not to trust the label but if you actually download the songs, you will hear that it is NOT the orginal score-- or NOT Gloria Gaynor's voice. (hawk 4551)

Any comment or insight to what sounds like the use of the Final Bell in the song (from the movie Rocky)? (Hawk4551)

[edit] Parodies

A parody of the song was made by Luke Smith for Counter-Strike. Should that be added that to the parodies section?

There's already a line for him (added after this comment?). I've also added one for Natural Selection. this the song of ma life men i will survive i will survive —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.206.45.138 (talk) 10:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Anthem?

I see no juxtification for this sentence: "it has often been used as an anthem of female empowerment, a gay anthem, and HIV/AIDS awareness", hence a put a "citation needed".Popopp 19:50, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Juxtification? And, of course, citations are always nice, but why is there any doubt in this case? --85.179.202.50 (talk) 17:06, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
